It only has one weird oddity if you open it up with a shortcut it doesn’t switch back to max it thinks it’s reading the low it but it keeps the The numbers from the max and alarm goes off. For instance if you have your max alarm set at 80 and you use it once with a shortcut, then turn it off and use it a second time with a shortcut he comes up pointing over to the low side but the number still reads 80 instead of 20, that’s a low sideIs sad too. It does this every time you come back after opening with a shortcut. Even if the next time it is opened manually. If you close it before you remove power it works right or you can toggle the Less Than or Equals to Greater Than or Equals manually. I would’ve sent the developer support a question but it just goes to a blank page with a link that says to come back here. I am running IOS1 5.5 ### 2/5 — No rhyme or reason *2022-09-01* An audible low battery warning is a great idea, but this audible alarm sounds for no reason regardless of battery level. Why does the alarm sound when the device is charging? When it’s set to go off at or below 20%, why does it go off at 36%? The FAQs are no help. Hire a technical writer to ensure the instructions are comprehensible. Or better yet, program the app so it works intuitively. ### 3/5 — 09/18/2021 *2021-09-18, version 3.1.1* It only alerted me the first time I used it, but it has made my battery last longer somehow. If it did all it was suppose to do, I’d give it a higher rating. ### 1/5 — ؟ *2021-07-04, version 3.1.1* Very unhelpful Useless ### 3/5 — 微妙 *2021-06-01, version 3.1.0* アラームは鳴る。 しかし、通知音は設定のサウンドと感覚にある着信と通知音ではなく、ボリュームボタンの音量で鳴るので自分の場合は18％のボリュームにしているので本来のプッシュ通知とは違うので残念。 それに次いで、なぜかバッググラウンドにしている場合、他のアプリ、着信音やプッシュ通知もこのバッテリーアラームのせいで音量が小さくなる。 数日経って音量が小さいのがこのアプリだと分かったのはこのアプリをタスクキルしたら元の着信と通知音に戻ったからだ。 バッググラウンドに置いておくとある程度バッテリー消費もする。 要は使わない方がいいと言う結論に至った。 正直、最初はちゃんとアラームもなるし、自分はlow25%、High80%に設定してましたが、lowは通知音が変えられないのが不満点くらいでpro版を買おうかまで迷ったほどだが、難点をいくつは発見して結論的に使えないと思った。 他のアラームアプリを探す旅に出ます。 ### 4/5 — At last *2021-04-28, version 3.1.0* Fed up with going to use my phone only to find it dead or dying. Wasn’t sure it would work with my higher than stated IOS but it did. It was on Lock Screen at the time. Thank you for this ### 1/5 — 使えない *2021-04-11, version 3.1.0* 誤動作だらけ。 即消し推奨 ### 1/5 — updated 15 Feb 2021 *2021-02-16, version 3.0.0* This update creates new problem. iOS & iPadOS screen autolock goes into effect as normal even when using this app without minimised so the app alarm doesn't sound when the target% reached (because device is autolocked). Before this update, screen autolock is disabled automatically when using this app so app alarm sounded when target charge% reached (because device autolock can't kick in and didn't luck in). Before this update, no change in any settings is necessary to use it as the way it was expected except keeping the app running in the foreground and not locking the screen manually. After this update, even meddling with the settings don't make any difference whether or not keeping the app front and active. The setting goes back into default state each and everytime the app force quit and relaunches. This was the second app updated yesterday (15/2/21) becoming useless app. Not all new changes is good and welcome, unless it's really good. Developer is trying to make the ball rounder. BTW the above experience applies to all my 2 iOS and 1 iPadOS devices. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-02-05, version 2.9.9* The application doesn’t work, I tried to make it warn me when I arrive at 1% many times but I never worked. I saw a nice message of the creator of the app to email him if any problems but he never responded ### 1/5 — its not absolutly free *2020-12-30, version 2.9.9* need to pay to supprt background app refresh mode ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-11-29, version 2.9.9* It’s a good thing I decided to test it out before I actually needed it.... It did not work at all!!!! ### 1/5 — Free version treats you badly *2020-11-15, version 2.9.9* Haven't seen an intentionally so confusing behavior exactly in the most important part of the app: the alarm. If you don't buy it, will not be possible even try the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — After IOS update 17.4 *2024-03-16* When I updated the software update for my phone and I use the app, if my phone is 90% the app will show its 92%. It’s really annoying and I wish there’s some update where it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-15, version 3.1.3* This app did not work at all and did not notify me in any way no matter the setting. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-01-05, version 3.1.3* Never ending alarm. “Millions” of notifications... ### 1/5 — Alarm doesn’t work *2022-10-03, version 3.1.3* Just purchased pro version of this app and upto my surprise the alarm doesn’t work. Low battery alarm and battery charging alarm both doesn’t work. Never purchased an app but really disappointed when I did one. ### 1/5 — No *2022-04-06, version 3.1.3* La mia personale esperienza con questa applicazione è stata negativa ### 1/5 — IT DOESN’T WORK SATISFACTORILY *2021-10-30, version 3.1.1* The APP fail !!! READ my written COMPLAIN.I have email messages for you … SIR BOWERS. ### 1/5 — DÉGOÛTÉE *2021-09-07, version 3.1.1* J’ai fais la MAJ par erreur et du coup pour qu’elle fonctionne en arrière plan on me demande de payer alors que j’avais déjà la version complète. Du coup ça met une plombe pour charger. Application devenue inutile car on m’a supprimé la version complète que j’avais déjà et on me réclame de payer à nouveau. J’ai écrit au concepteur mais apparemment il ne répond qu’aux avis positifs. Très déçue car elle était bien. Vous m’avez propose de m’envoyer un code mais cela fait 3 mois que je n’ai rien reçu ### 1/5 — Uninstalling *2021-08-10, version 3.1.1* This app was so good til 2.9.9..... i don’t know why you updated this app with pro app features... when i was using the old version of this app only I HAVE TO DO IS.... 1. OPEN THE APP 2. LOCK THE IPAD ...THATS ALL ...WHEN BATTERY LEVEL REACH 100 it automatically notify ........but now its not working ### 1/5 — Falha *2021-07-30, version 3.1.1* App inteligente, pratico e legal. Pratico Mas não funciona direito. Cansa d não funcionar. Só estresse ### 1/5 — battery life alarm and reminders *2021-07-21, version 3.1.1* at first the app was easy to use and was very accurate but now it never alarms when it reaches the level of charge that i set and in fact it never alarms once the battery is 100% and i’m supposed to tell you about the problem via email but there’s no email address provided as with most software almost all don’t provide a quick easy to find and use link to ask for help when it works it’s the best ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best battery alarm app *2023-04-09, version 3.1.3* This and the "Battery Charge Alarm" app are the only two apps that work reliably for me. I prefer this one because it doesn't show an intrusive full-screen ad every time the charger is plugged in. Protip: create an automation in the Apple Shortcuts app that will automatically open this app when the charger is plugged in and the battery charge level is less than whatever your desired target is (I aim for 90%). ### 5/5 — Battery Alarm *2022-12-21, version 3.1.3* Awesome app for saving your battery from overcharging. Maybe add a feature so you can reduce the amount of amps it puts in too. 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-26, version 3.1.0* Big help especially at night time. Good job 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — 素晴らしい *2021-05-11, version 3.1.0* 機能が充実しており、分かりやすく、使いやすい。また、Version upの Historyから 開発者の誠意を感じます。 感謝して使っています。 <要望> Volumeの表示は、貴重です。他の文字と同じ大きさの font にしてください。 ### 5/5 — 取り敢えず充電通知アプリ探し終了 *2021-02-15, version 3.0.0* 無料版を試してみて使えたので購入しました。 決めた%まで充電出来たことを知らせてくれるだけで充分。 ### 5/5 — Get the PRO version! *2020-08-06* If you’re looking for something that will warn you that your phone battery’s lower than you want it to get, while you’re working on your desktop or doing something else that doesn’t involve the phone, you need something that will make a noise when the threshold has been reached. I’ve been looking for years for such an app, and I’ve found a few that claim to do that, but none has actually worked with any regularity—up till now! The PRO version of this app works perfectly every time, to warn you that your battery’s level is lower than you want it or that your level is higher than you want it. The PRO version of this app is well worth the nominal cost; if these warnings are what you want, you should buy it without hesitation. **Developer response:** Thank you 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Finalmente *2020-07-17, version 2.9.9* Quest’app mi ha salvato la vita, ogni volta l’Iphone non dice se arriva a 5 o meno e si spegne ma cosi risolvo. Grazie ### 5/5 — Good *2020-06-22, version 2.9.9* This App works well and I love the custom voice message feature! ### 5/5 — great app *2020-05-23, version 2.9.9* it’s awesome. thats appnis amazing for save battery health and protect our phone for overcharging ### 5/5 — great app *2020-05-17, version 2.9.9* Great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
